Oops, I've been misreading the errors.

squid and squid-common *are* removed ...

The errors are coming from the squid3 package.

Are you trying to install or remove squid3?

so what i have to do

Very common. You will see this sort of error alot. Squid was kind enough to keep the config files encase you wanted to reinstall later. To remove them do

sudo rm -R /pathtofolder

I.e.

Sudo rm- R /etc/squid

Hi, I hope you have received solution by now.

But If not, you need to remove every reference to squid3

for me the error message contained this,

0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 2 to remove and 43 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 6873kB will be freed.

I removed any squid* from

/var/lib/dpkg/info/

/var/lib/dpkg/info# rm -rf squid*

then again tried installing squid3

It worked.

Hope this helps
